Soko had just moved to L.A. and was on a lucky streak: "Three nights in, I went out and met a girl who was like, 'Hey, I like your music. I work for a label and we would love to sign you. Where are you staying, do you need a place to stay?' And I was like, 'Yeah I do.' That same night I had a blind date with Robert Pattinson!" she tells A Music Blog, Yea.

She and RPattz didn't last, but she was one degree from the right person: Stewart, who met Soko the old-fashioned way, not by sliding into her DMs (which, Soko says, is how she's met and been on dates with some of her fans).
